in which R1, R2, L₁, X, R3, A, R4, R₄′, R₄″, R₄″′, R5, Y and L₂are as herein defined, salts and prodrugs thereof, to their use as protein kinase inhibitors, and to methods of treating diseases comprising adminstration thereof.

Description

The present invention relates to novel amino cyclic urea derivatives, to a process for preparing them, to their use as medicinal products, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to the pharmaceutical use of such derivatives for preventing and treating complaints that may be modulated by inhibiting the activity of protein kinases.

The present invention relates to novel amino cyclic urea derivatives that have inhibitory effects on protein kinases.

The products of the present invention may thus be used especially for preventing or treating complaints capable of being modulated by inhibiting the activity of protein kinases.

The inhibition and regulation of protein kinases especially constitute a powerful new mechanism of action for treating a large number of solid tumours.

Such complaints that the products of the present patent application can treat are thus most particularly solid tumours.

Such protein kinases belong especially to the following group:

IGF1, Raf, EGF, PDGF, VEGF, Tie2, KDR, Flt1-3, FAK, Src, Ab1, cKit, cdk1-9, Auroral-2, cdc7, Akt, Pdk, S6K, Jnk, IR, FLK-1, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGFR5, PLK, Pyk2, CDK7, CDK2 et EGFR.

Such protein kinases belong more especially to the following group: IGF1, cdc7, Auroral-2, Src, Jnk, FAK, KDR, IR, Tie2, CDK7, CDK2 et EGFR.

The protein kinase IGF1-R (Insulin Growth Factor-1 Receptor) is particularly indicated.

The protein kinase FAK is also indicated.

The protein kinase AKT is also indicated.

The present invention thus relates particularly to novel inhibitors of the IGF-1R receptor that may be used for oncology treatments.

The present invention also relates to novel FAK receptor inhibitors that may be used for oncology treatments.

The present invention also relates to novel AKT receptor inhibitors that may be used for oncology treatments.

Cancer remains a disease for which the existing treatments are clearly insufficient. Certain protein kinases, especially including IGF-1R (Insulin Growth Factor 1 Receptor), play an important role in many cancers. The inhibition of such protein kinases is potentially important in the chemotherapy of cancers, especially for suppressing the growth or survival of tumours. The present invention thus relates to the identification of novel products that inhibit such protein kinases.

Protein kinases participate in signalling events that control the activation, growth and differentiation of cells in response either to extracellular mediators or to changes in the environment. In general, these kinases belong to two groups: those that preferentially phosphorylate serine and/or threonine residues and those that preferentially phosphorylate tyrosine residues [S. K. Hanks and T. Hunter, FASEB. J., 1995, 9, pages 576-596]. The serine/threonine kinases are, for example, the isoforms of the protein kinases C [A. C. Newton, J. Biol. Chem., 1995, 270, pages 28495-28498] and a group of cycline-dependent kinases, for instance cdc2 [J. Pines, Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1995, 18, pages 195-197]. Tyrosine kinases comprise growth factor receptors, for instance the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor [S. Iwashita and M. Kobayashi, Cellular Signalling, 1992, 4, pages 123-132], and cytosol kinases, for instance p56tck, p59fYn and ZAP-70 and the kinases csk [C. Chan et. al., Ann. Rev. Immunol., 1994, 12, pages 555-592].

Abnormally high levels of kinase protein activity have been implicated in many diseases, resulting from abnormal cellular functions. This may arise either directly or indirectly from a dysfunction in the mechanisms for controlling the kinase activity, linked, for example, to a mutation, an overexpression or an inappropriate activation of the enzyme, or an over or underproduction of cytokines or of growth factors, also involved in the transduction of the signals upstream or downstream of the kinases. In all these cases, a selective inhibition of the action of the kinases offers hope of a beneficial effect.

The type 1 receptor for the insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I-R) is a transmembrane receptor with tyrosine kinase activity which binds firstly to IGFI, but also to IGFII and to insulin with lower affinity. The binding of IGF1 to its receptor results in oligomerization of the receptor, the activation of tyrosine kinase, intermolecular autophosphorylation and the phosphorylation of cell substrates (main substrates: IRS1 and Shc). The receptor activated by its ligand induces mitogenic activity in normal cells. However, IGF-I-R plays an important role in “abnormal” growth.

Several clinical reports underline the important role of the IGF-I route in the development of human cancers:

IGF-I-R is often found overexpressed in many types of tumour (breast, colon, lung, sarcoma, etc.) and its presence is often associated with a more aggressive phenotype.

High concentrations of circulating IGF1 are strongly correlated with a risk of prostate cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer.

Furthermore, it has been widely documented that IGF-I-R is necessary for establishing and maintaining the transformed phenotype in vitro as in vivo [Baserga R, Exp. Cell. Res., 1999, 253, pages 1-6]. The kinase activity of IGF-I-R is essential for the transformation activity of several oncogenes: EGFR, PDGFR, the large T antigen of the SV40 virus, activated Ras, Raf, and v-Src. The expression of IGF-I-R in normal fibroblasts induces a neoplastic phenotype, which may then result in the formation of a tumour in vivo. The expression of IGF-I-R plays an important role in substrate-independent growth. IGF-I-R has also been shown to be a protector in chemotherapy-induced and radiation-induced apoptosis, and cytokine-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, the inhibition of endogenous IGF-I-R with a negative dominant, the formation of a triple helix or the expression of an antisense sequence brings about suppression of the transforming activity in vitro and reduction of tumour growth in animal models.

Among the kinases for which a modulation of the activity is desired, FAK (Focal Adhesion Kinase) is also a preferred kinase.

FAK is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that plays an important role in transducing the signal transmitted by the integrins, a family of heterodimeric receptors of cellular adhesion. FAK and the integrins are colocalized in perimembrane structures known as adhesion plaques. It has been shown in many cell types that the activation of FAK and its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues and in particular its autophosphorylation on tyrosine 397 were dependent on the binding of the integrins to their extracellular ligands and thus induced during cellular adhesion [Kornberg L, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 267(33): 23439-442 (1992)]. The autophosphorylation on tyrosine 397 of FAK represents a binding site for another tyrosine kinase, Src, via its SH2 domain [Schaller et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 14: 1680-1688 1994; Xing et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 5: 413-421 1994]. Src can then phosphorylate FAK on tyrosine 925, thus recruiting the adapter protein Grb2 and inducing in certain cells activation of the ras and MAP kinase pathway involved in controlling cellular proliferation [Schlaepfer et al. Nature; 372: 786-791 1994; Schlaepfer et al. Prog. Biophy. Mol. Biol. 71: 435-478 1999; Schlaepfer and Hunter, J. Biol. Chem. 272: 13189-13195 1997].

The activation of FAK can thus induce the jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signalling pathway and result in the progression of the cells to the G1 phase of the cellular cycle [Oktay et al., J. Cell. Biol. 145: 1461-1469 1999]. Phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3-kinase) also binds to FAK on tyrosine 397 and this interaction might be necessary for the activation of PI3-kinase [Chen and Guan, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA. 91: 10148-10152 1994; Ling et al. J. Cell. Biochem. 73: 533-544 1999]. The FAK/Src complex phosphorylates various substrates, for instance paxillin and p130CAS in fibroblasts [Vuori et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 16: 2606-2613 1996].

The results of numerous studies support the hypothesis that FAK inhibitors might be useful in treating cancer. Studies have suggested that FAK might play an important role in in vitro cell proliferation and/or survival. For example, in CHO cells, certain authors have demonstrated that the overexpression of p125FAK induces an acceleration of the G1 to S transition, suggesting that p125FAK promotes cellular proliferation [Zhao J.-H et al. J. Cell Biol. 143: 1997-2008 1998]. Other authors have shown that tumour cells treated with FAK antisense oligonucleotides lose their adhesion and go into apoptosis (Xu et al, Cell Growth Differ. 4: 413-418 1996). It has also been demonstrated that FAK promotes the migration of cells in vitro. Thus, fibroblasts that are deficient for the expression of FAK (“knockout” mice for FAK) show a rounded morphology and deficiencies in cell migration in response to chemotactic signals, and these defects are suppressed by reexpression of FAK [D J. Sieg et al., J. Cell Science. 112: 2677-91 1999]. The overexpression of the C-terminal domain of FAK (FRNK) blocks the stretching of adherent cells and reduces cellular migration in vitro [Richardson A. and Parsons J. T. Nature. 380 : 538-540 1996]. The overexpression of FAK in CHO or COS cells or in human astrocytoma cells promotes migration of the cells. The involvement of FAK in promoting the proliferation and migration of cells in numerous cell types in vitro suggests the potential role of FAK in neoplastic processes. A recent study has effectively demonstrated the increase in the proliferation of tumour cells in vivo after induction of the expression of FAK in human astrocytoma cells [Cary L. A. et al. J. Cell Sci. 109: 1787-94 1996; Wang D et al. J. Cell Sci. 113: 4221-4230 2000]. Furthermore, immunohistochemical studies on human biopsies have demonstrated that FAK is overexpressed in prostate cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, cancer of the colon, melanoma, brain cancer and lung cancer, the level of expression of FAK being directly correlated to the tumours having the most aggressive phenotype [Weiner T M, et al. Lancet. 342 (8878): 1024-1025 1993; Owens et al. Cancer Research. 55: 2752-2755 1995; Maung K. et al. Oncogene 18: 6824-6828 1999; Wang D et al. J. Cell Sci. 113 : 4221-4230 2000].

Protein kinase AKT (also known as PKB) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) are involved in a cell signalling pathway that transmits signals from growth factors activating membrane receptors.

This transduction pathway is involved in numerous cellular functions: regulation of apoptosis, control of transcription and translation, glucose metabolism, angiogenesis and mitochondrial integrity. First identified as an important component of insulin-dependent signalling pathways regulating metabolic responses, serine/threonine kinase AKT was then identified as a mediator playing a key role in survival induced by growth factors. It has been shown that AKT can inhibit death by apoptosis induced by various stimuli, in a certain number of cell types and tumour cells. In accordance with these findings, it has been shown that AKT can, by phosphorylation of given serine residues, inactivate BAD, GSK3□, caspase-9, and Forkhead transcription factor, and can activate IKKalpha and e-NOS. It is interesting to note that the protein BAD is found hyper-phosphorylated in 11 human tumour cell lines out of 41 studied. Furthermore, it has been shown that hypoxia modulates the induction of VEGF in cells transformed with Ha-ras by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway and by involving the binding sequence of the HIF-1 (hypoxia inducible factor-1) transcription factor known as HRE for “hypoxy-responsive element”.

AKT plays a very important role in cancer pathologies. The amplification and/or overexpression of AKT has been reported in many human tumours, for instance gastric carcinoma (amplification of AKT1), ovary carcinomas, breast carcinoma or pancreatic carcinoma (amplification and overexpression of AKT2) and breast carcinomas deficient in oestrogen receptors, and also androgen-independent prostate carcinomas (overexpression of AKT3). Furthermore, AKT is constitutively activated in all the PTEN tumours, the PTEN phosphatase being deleted or inactivated by mutations in many types of tumours, for instance carcinomas of the ovary, of the prostate, of the endometrium, glioblastomas and melanomas. AKT is also involved in the oncogenic activation of bcr-abl (references: Khawaja A., Nature 1999, 401, 33-34; Cardone et al. Nature 1998, 282, 1318-1321; Kitada S. et al., Am J Pathol 1998 Jan; 152(1): 51-61; Mazure N M et al. Blood 1997, 90, 3322-3331; Zhong H. et al. Cancer Res. 2000, 60, 1541-1545).

Mention may also be made of the salts formed with organic bases such as methylamine, propylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine. The sodium salt is preferred.

When the products of formula (I) comprise an amino radical that may be salified with an acid, it is clearly understood that these acid salts also form part of the invention. Mention may be made of the salts obtained, for example, with hydrochloric acid or methanesulphonic acid.

The addition salts with mineral or organic acids of the products of formula (I) may be, for example, the salts formed with hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid, benzoic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, glyoxylic acid, aspartic acid, ascorbic acid, alkylmonosulphonic acids such as, for example, methanesulphonic acid, ethanesulphonic acid or propanesulphonic acid, alkyldisulphonic acids such as, for example, methanedisulphonic acid or α,β-ethanedisulphonic acid, arylmonosulphonic acids such as benzenesulphonic acid, and aryldisulphonic acids.

It may be recalled that stereoisomerism may be defined in its broad sense as the isomerism of compounds having the same structural formulae but whose various groups are arranged differently in space, especially such as in monosubstituted cyclohexanes whose substituent may be in an axial or equatorial position, and the various possible rotational conformations of ethane derivatives. However, there is another type of stereoisomerism, due to the different spatial arrangements of fixed substituents, either on double bonds or on rings, which is often referred to as geometrical isomerism or cis-trans isomerism. The term “stereoisomer” is used in the present patent application in its broadest sense and thus relates to all the compounds indicated above.

The compounds of general formulae Ia, Ib and Ic in which X′ denotes NR6, O or S are in accordance with the reaction sequences described in Scheme 1.

To this end, an intermediate of general formula 1a, in which the variables have the abovementioned meanings and in which X′ denotes NH2, OH or SH, is reacted with a difunctional alkylating agent of general formula 1b, for instance a haloalkanal acetal. The reaction is performed in bulk or in an inert organic solvent, optionally in the presence of a base. A preferred alkylating agent is bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal.

From the aldehyde obtained by hydrolysis of the acetal, compounds according to the invention of general formula Ib are then obtained by reductive amination. The compounds in which the bonding group L1 is substituted with a hydroxyl (Ia) are prepared by converting the aldehyde to the corresponding epoxide and subsequent decyclization with amines.

One variant for access to I describes the direct alkylation of compounds of general formula 1a with an aminoalkyl halide of general formula Ha1-L₁-N(R1R2). In the case where X′ represents OH and SH, this reaction is preferably performed in an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, DMF, NMP or acetone, in the presence of a base such as potassium tert-butoxide, potassium carbonate or caesium carbonate. In the case where X′ denotes NH2, the process preferably proceeds first with acylation and the intermediate amide is used for the alkylation. Preferred acyl radicals are acetyl and trifluoroacetyl. Removal of the acyl group once the alkylation has been performed then gives rise to compounds according to the invention, which may be optionally converted into compounds of general formula Ic via additional steps.

The starting substances of general formula 1a (X′═NH2) required for this sequence may be prepared in accordance with the process summarized in Scheme 2. A suitably substituted nitroaniline, which may be obtained, for example, by nitration of the corresponding aniline, is, in the present case, converted into the corresponding isocyanate or into a derivative of similar reactivity, in an inert solvent under the action of phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene or carbonyldiimidazole, in the presence or absence of an auxiliary base, and reacted with a compound of general formula 2a to give rise to the heterocyclic compounds of general formula 2b. 2a are preferably obtained by reductive amination of the corresponding amino acid derivative with an aldehyde of general formula R5-Y-L₂′-CHO.

As a variant, the intermediates of general formula 1a (X′═NH2) may also be prepared by direct nitration of compounds of general formula 2c.

The subsequent reduction of the nitro compound 2b is performed by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a heterogeneous or homogeneous transition metal catalyst, preferably a heterogeneous transition metal catalyst. As a variant, to this end, the reduction may also be performed with a non-precious metal in the presence of an acid. Preferred reagents for this reaction are zinc and dilute hydrochloric acid, particularly preferably zinc and glacial acetic acid.

Similarly, constituent components of general formula 1a (X′═NH2, OH, SH), are obtained when a correspondingly substituted synthon 3a, optionally protected on reactive groups, is converted into the corresponding isocyanate or into a derivative of similar reactivity, under the action of phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene or carbonyldiimidazole, in the presence or absence of an auxiliary base, and condensed with an amino acid derivative of general formula 2b, in an inert solvent, for instance THF, toluene, dioxane or ethyl acetate, optionally in the presence of an auxiliary base, for instance triethylamine or potassium tert-butoxide. The reaction temperature is preferably between room temperature and the reflux point of the solvent, particularly preferably at the reflux point. As a variant, the cyclization may also be performed in aqueous-acidic solution at elevated temperature.

One variant of the process for preparing the compounds of general formulae Ia, Ib and Ic, in which X′ denotes NR6, O or S, consists in converting the constituent components of general formulae 3a-d into the corresponding isocyanate or into a derivative of similar reactivity, with phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene or carbonyldiimidazole, in the presence or absence of an auxiliary base, and in then reacting them with an amino acid derivative of general formula 2a under the conditions mentioned for the preparation of 1a. The intermediates thus obtained are then converted into compounds of general formulae Ia-c in a manner similar to that for the reactions described in Scheme 1.

The arylamines 3a are in part described in the literature or may be obtained in accordance with conversions known to those skilled in the art from derivatives known in the literature. The starting substances 3b-e are obtained from 3a via synthetic routes that are in principle similar to the reaction sequences described in Scheme 1. For the conversion, the free amino group is, in the present case, protected with the usual protecting groups or masked in the form of a nitro function, and reduced at a subsequent stage.

The compounds according to the invention of general formula Id in which X′ denotes —N(R6)-C(O)—, —N(R6)-C(O)—N(R6′)-, —N(R6)-C(S)—N(R6′)-, —N(R6)-C(O)O—, —N(R6)-SO2— or —N(R6)-SO2-N(R6′) are obtained by reacting an intermediate of general formula 4a with a difunctional reagent, for instance, activated halocarboxylic acids, haloisocyanates, isothiocyanates or halosulphonyl chlorides (Scheme 3). Preferred reagents are chloroacetyl chloride, acryloyl chloride, 2-chloropropionyl chloride and chloromethanesulphonyl chloride, and also homologues thereof. The coupling is preferably performed in an inert solvent at low temperature. The use of a base is optional. Among the intermediates formed, the compounds of general formula Id are obtained by reaction with a suitably substituted amine. This reaction may be performed in an inert organic solvent or in bulk, optionally in the presence of an auxiliary base.

By using acryloyl chloride in the first step, aminopropionylamides according to the invention are obtained after reaction with amines.

As a variant, 4a may also be reacted directly with amino-substituted difunctional reagents of general formula 4b to give rise to compounds of general formula Id.

The compounds of general formula I in which X denotes —N(R6)-C(O)— and R2 and L1 form a nucleus are obtained by reacting compounds of general formula 4a with an activated amino acid derivative of general formula 5. The amino acid may be activated by conversion into the acid chloride or via amide coupling reactions that are sufficiently known to those skilled in the art. The products initially obtained, Ie, may be converted into other compounds Ie according to the invention via other conversions.

Other cyclic derivatives in which X represents the abovementioned meanings may be obtained in accordance with similar processes.

The compounds of general formula I, in which X′ denotes —C(O)—N(R6)-, —SO2-NR6- or —C(O)O—, are obtained in accordance with Scheme 5. The intermediates 6b, in which -T denotes —COOH, —COO-Alkyl, —SO2OH, —SO2Cl or —SO2F, are, in the present case, prepared by a reaction sequence as has just been described in Scheme 2. The compounds 6a are commercially available or may be prepared from commercially available derivatives via conversions known to those skilled in the art. The condensation of 6b with a reagent of formula V-L₁-N(R1R2) when V represents NH2, NR6, hydrogen or hydroxyl then gives the desired compounds. In the case where T denotes —COOH or —SO2OH, 6b is first activated by the action of agents such as, for example, thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride. As a variant, the activation may also be performed with coupling agents known to those skilled in the art, for instance TOTU or DCC.

Scheme 6 illustrates, by way of example, the way in which compounds in which A denotes a system containing a fused homocyclic or heterocyclic nucleus may be prepared.

To this end, the system containing nucleus A is first linked to the central heterocycle in accordance with the reaction sequence described for compound 2b. Next, the compounds of general formula I are then obtained by alkylation, acylation, sulphonylation, carbamoylation or thiocarbamoylation and additional reactions of the derivatives thus obtained.

The derivatives of general formula R3-A-NH2 required for the reaction, may be obtained in accordance or by analogy with processes known in the literature. Thus, the indolines required for the illustrated example may be prepared as described in document U.S. Pat. No. 6,114,365.

The compounds of general formula I may moreover be obtained by reacting an amino acid derivative of general formula 7a with an isocyanate 7b or an analogue of similar reactivity, in which Z denotes a group A-, R3A- or R3A(X′)- or denotes

(Scheme 7) The intermediates 7c formed are then converted into compounds of general formula I by alkylation with a halide Hal-L₂-Y-R5 or another reagent of similar reactivity. The alkylation reactions are preferably performed in an organic solvent, for instance dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, ethyl acetate or acetone, in the presence of a base, for instance potassium carbonate, caesium carbonate, sodium hydride or potassium tert-butoxide. The bases dimethylformamide and caesium carbonate are preferably used.

All the processes for preparing compounds of general formula 1 are distinguished by the fact that the relative sequence of the individual steps is modifiable and may be adapted to the respective needs, determined by the reactivity of the intermediates.

The invention also describes all the reactions on compounds of general formula I, which again lead to compounds of general formula I. Thus, compounds of general formula I in which X denotes —N(R6)-C(O)— and R6 denotes H may be converted by alkylation into compounds of general formula I, in which R6 denotes an alkyl or a cycloalkyl. The conversion of a radical YR5, which denotes a chloropyridine, into a radical YR5, which denotes aminopyridine, may serve as an additional example.

It may be noted that all the reactions for the synthesis of the compounds of formula (I) are well known per se to those skilled in the art and may be performed under standard conditions in accordance with or similar to procedures described in the literature, for example in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart, or Organic Reactions, John Wiley & Sons, New York or in R. C. Larock in: Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH publishers, 1989. Depending on the individual circumstances, in order to avoid side reactions during the synthesis of a compound of formula (I), it may be necessary or advantageous to temporarily block functional groups by introducing protecting groups, and to deprotect them at a subsequent stage in the synthesis, or to introduce functional groups in the form of precursor groups which are converted into the desired functional groups in a subsequent reaction step. Such synthetic strategies and such protecting groups and precursor groups that are suitable in an individual case are known to those skilled in the art. Standard practices are described, for example, in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts: “Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry” John Wiley and Sons, 1991. If so desired, the compounds of formula (I) may be purified via common purification procedures, for example by recrystallization or chromatography. The starting materials for the preparation of the compounds of formula (I) are commercially available or may be prepared in accordance with or analogously to literature procedures. The compounds obtained via the abovementioned synthetic methods constitute an additional subject of the present invention.

The products that are the subject of the present invention are endowed with advantageous pharmacological properties: it has been found that they especially have inhibitory properties on protein kinases.

Among these protein kinases, mention is especially made of IGF1R.

Mention is also made of FAK. Mention is also made of AKT.

These properties thus make the products of general formula (I) of the present invention usable as medicinal products for treating malignant tumours.

The products of formula (I) may also be used in the veterinary field.

One subject of the invention is thus, as medicinal products, the products of formula (I) as defined above, and also prodrugs thereof, the said products of formula (I) being in all the possible racemic, enantiomeric and diastereoisomeric isomer forms, and also the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts with mineral and organic acids or with mineral and organic bases of the said products of formula (I).

A subject of the invention is thus the use, as medicinal products, of the products of formula (Ia), (Ib), (Ic) or (Id) as defined above, and also prodrugs thereof, the said products of formula (Ia), (Ib), (Ic) or (Id) being in all the possible racemic, enantiomeric and diastereoisomeric isomer forms, and also the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts with mineral and organic acids or with mineral and organic bases of the said products of formula (Ia), (Ib), (Ic) or (Id).

A subject of the invention is thus, most particularly, the use, as medicinal products, of the products of formula (I), the names of which are given hereinbelow:

General Procedure for the Preparation of the Following Compounds (Example 209 to 221)

The following compounds were prepared in analogy to example 201 by using 100 mg 3-(3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-yl)-5,5-dimethyl-1-quinolin-4-ylmethyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione as starting material and 3 equivalents of the corresponding amines instead of 1-methyl-piperazine. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 100° C. by microwave-assisted heating (Emrys Optimizer, Personal Chemistry). After purification the residue was partitioned between 5 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and 5 ml ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. After filtration the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of 1 ml acetonitrile and 2 ml water and lyophilized.

This title compound was purified in addition by flash chromatography on silica gel with a dichloro-methane/methanol/water/triethylamine gradient. The fractions containing the product were combined and evaporated to yield a white solid.
